The VCT EMEA has always been hit by rampant tech issues, problems enough which resulted in match days by called off entirely while players are stuck on stage for hours.
The Riot has apologised when the biggest pros and former competitors called them off directly, where they claimed that their PC were not up to par and that the LAN environment was far below expectations, especially when there is no real LAN at all and they play over 30 ping.
Well, these have to head with Ibai, a massive Twitch streamer and part owner of Movistar KOI, who is putting his foot down; he is boycotting the league until the changes are made, pulling his team, which is out of the playoffs.
If KOI had qualified for the playoffs, they essentially made a joke of the face of controversy, which is wreaking havoc in the EMEA league. Well,l there is some truth to the boycott and later all: Kameto is also refusing to co-stream it, resulting in a potential loss of tens of thousands of viewers for Riot.
Valorant EMEA league boycotted by Karmine Crop Owner
Ibai’s joke announcement, which is immediately followed by other teams with the playoff, is showing solidarity, ty taking a jab at Roi, which is also making jokes at their own expense.
No team which is actively participating in the Playoffs the opted to boycott just yet, when the teams are having fun with it on social media. Team Liquid, which is one of two squads impacted by the April 25th slew to tech pauses, who were posting images like Ben Affleck smoking on the side of a balcony and then joking with the sheer length of these pauses as they were continuing.
Kameto is also making the stand where he said he won’t cast VCT anymore until they fix the issues; they should not be taking rides like those. Well, now looking, Karmine Corp is also the other team that got wrapped up with Team Liquid. Well, his aggression makes sense.
Just a reminder that boycotting or refusing to play can result in getting fired or getting thrown out of the league. Well, considering that the slots cost millions, this is something we can say Kameto is willing to do. Also, stopping his co-stream has given a big blow.
Ibai’s boycotts are clearly a joke, but what Kameto has pulled with Karmine Crop, which is the biggest esports org in the world, who have their fan base quite loyal, and calling out directly is sure to draw attention from the Riot.
